I haven't bought Awakenings yet, but what did they do to change the conversation system?


Instead of clicking on your companions to initiate a conversation, you have to search for conversation "triggers" around the world.

These triggers can be anything from statues, buckets of lyrium, anvils, trees, merchandise, barrels of ale, boats floating in the Fade, etc.

You cant talk to your party members, you have to find certain things to click on, then be really nice to them to try and get a personal quest to actually get their approval up. So in short no talking unless you find a random rutabaga for someone to have a childhood flashback.

On second thought, the conversation system might work....


PC
: *Clicks on the bush*

Leliana:*Giggles* Are you thinking what I'm thinking? *wink wink nudge nudge*

PC: Guys, umm.... wait here. I have to... discuss something with Leliana.... *runs behind the bush with Leliana*

Oghren: Hot!

Velanna: Yuck!


Leliana approves +10

Oghren approves +4

Velanna disapproves -5

Wont work for me Velanna dissappeared at the end of all my Awakening playthorughs. Besides my Wardens are to classy we always do it in the tent.


:P

I don't know if I want her in Awakening... the conversation system sucks. You'll have to run around like a headless chicken with your tab key pressed in order to find trees. And there are not enough trees in Amaranthine to cover the awesomeness of Leliana :(


I want her anywhere, anytime.

Even in the Chantry, provided the Maker doesn't throw thunderbolts at me afterwards.

On a serious note, I'd love to see her again. She really grew up on me during the course of Origins. Having her come back in Awakening would really lighten the otherwise dull atmosphere of the game.

Or even better, bring her back as a companion in DA2. :o

Wow thats awful.Part of the reason I think I'm starting to like DA over ME is because of the amazing dialogue you have with your party. It its just an expansion though, but then again I do expect a $40 expansion to have higher standards. Do you guys think I should still buy it? Keep in mind that I would wait until Steam has a sale on it.

The convo system in Awakening almost, almost put me off the game. Anders was one of the few reasons I liked the game.

Im scared hold me!

I am not going by myself! If I have to go behind a bush your coming with me.

Wait for a sale, plus download a few fix mods off of the Dragon Age NExus that allow you to port all the DLC, since only RtO ports over. Nothing like starting the game butt naked! DONT ASK.

I don't hate Awakening but it's clear that Awakening had a fraction of the time and budget put into it that Orgins did also it very much feels like a one off. Nothing you do in Awakening is going to have any real effect on DA2 at most it will work like the Warden's Keep reference in Awakening. In fact it's almost a blessing that Leliana isn't in Awakening because that expansion is the kiss of death for any companion that shows up in it, we will never ever see Oghren ever again because he was in the expansion. There is no epilogue save in Awakening and that means if there is going to be any character import into another expansion or a sequel it will be from Orgins with Awakening being a simple flag, either the events happened and are attributed to your warden or they happened and it's attributed to an unamed Warden-Commander from Orlais.

An EA shareholder's meeting has stated that the 2011 game is the full Dragon Age 2 sequel.

Ah well, I'm using that Grey Warden Runic armor mod. Which I hear will actually transfer over. Actually, I know the mod is compatible with awakening, I'm not sure if it does "transfer" right from the beginning. You don't happen to know?



Its this mod

It doesn't concern me as much, it pretty much confirms that the game will use the exact same engine which makes the likelyhood of it starring the Origins Warden pretty damn certain. Also as a modder it means alot of the work I've and others have done should carry over to DA2 with little to no conversion. It also makes it possible that Romance companions will be in DA2 since DA savegame files contain all the plot flags and approval information that can be used during an import.

Out of curiousity, could you by any chance provide a link to that?

I checked out their quaterly reports and all it said was "a Dragon Age title".

I'd love to see any confirmation about DA2 at this point.

So when you were wearing it at the end of DA:O, it transfered right over to your awakenings game, no problem then? Fantastic.

The leak from within Bioware that most writers have moved on to DA2 is probably the best thing to a confirmation you can get. Also they are are still using the same engine just upping the resolution of the textures, adding more screen buffer effects and using higher poly models. I use a bunch of high resolution textures that modders have produced and I don't have a problem in the least with them using the exact same engine, the engine looks just fine given the chance. The reason they used such low res textures to begin with probably stemmed more from the sloppy code in certain areas than any real limitation of the engine itself. The Denerim Market place is an absolute mess I can't imagine how anyone can run that on a console I have a Core i7 processor and 6GB of Ram and the memory leaks are nearly crippling.

They really don't need a new engine. The one they were using looked wonderful. They just need to fix the bugs, and like you said, improve the textures and such. I just hope they don't casualize the gameplay, like they did  ME2.

That just means there will be DA 2 sometime in the future, not that it comes Feb 2011. The EA report only said that a "Dragon Age title" comes in 2011.

It's possible that is the plan and the 2011 project is in fact going to be another expansion, they've been acting vague on the boards. However it seems to have been hinted in a few other places that it's going to be the sequel and not an expansion, it's circumstantial at this early point with anything being over a year away but in general the industry is very leaky and not very clever or shocking. Big sequels tend by leaked to all hell before anyone officially announces it, these companies are just too large to keep secrets well.
